[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty Knitter Class...

[Dixie]

They sound very similar.  This has grooves along the outside of each peg to
use the tool in.  Instead of the one peg to anchor the working yarn this has
two v shaped notches in the outside edge so the yarn wraps through one then
the next to anchor it.

Dixie:

I bought the Knifty Knitter set of 4 and the one I used for the hat has 31 
pegs, also in a circle.  Apparently the Knifty Knitters have a little peg 
sticking out horizontally on the outside of the rim. The little horizontal 
peg can be used for anchoring your yarn onto.  I forget what the little 
outer peg is called.  Sounds like your loom is not very different, but I'm 
no expert on these looms.

Ah yes, the pegs on my KK's also have little grooves in them on the outer 
face and they run verticly down the peg so if you use the little yarn tool 
it will run down the track of the groove rather than into your yarn.
